Yes. Metamorphic can be weathered away, end up in the ocean and become sedimentary. Sedimentary can end up in a volcano and become metamorphic. It can melt in a volcano and harden, thus becoming igneous. Then, igneous can also weather and get in the sea, just like metamorphic. Or, igneous can end up deep in the earth, where it gets squeezed into metamorphic.
Hope that helped! :D

Can any type of rock become a metamorphic rock?
yes
Metamorphic rock form igneous rock true or false?
Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
Can only igneous rocks become sedimentary rock?
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
What type of rock is river rock is it sedimentary metaphoric or igneious?
River rock can be composed of any rock type, or any combination of rock types.
What is the full cycle of rocks?
The rock cycle is basically the biography of a rock. It is important to keep in mind that any type of rock can turn into any other type of rock depending on the external forces. Let's start with a grouping of sediments. Through lithification (cementation), those sediments become a sedimentary rock. That sedimentary rock is then exposed to an intense amount of heat and pressure, which turn it into a metamorphic rock. That metamorphic rock is then melted at extremely high temperatures to make magma, which then cools to a solid state to create an igneous rock. That igneous rock is exposed to wind, water, ice, etc. and is weathered and eroded back into a grouping of sediments. From there, it starts all over again. This cycle continues and can start from any stage. An important fact is that each rock can become a different rock of that same type. For instance, an igneous rock can be remelted and recooled to form a different igneous rock. The same holds true for metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Can any type of rock become a metamorphic rock?
yes
Are metamorphic rocks only from igneous rocks?
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is formed by any kind of rock?
All rock types can be formed from any other rock type.
Are metamorphic rocks formed only from igneous rocks?
no any type of rock can become any other or another form of itself.
What type of rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What type of metamorphism forms foliate rocks?
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
What type of rock will metaconglomerate become if it were melted and and cooled underground?
Any rock that becomes molten and then solidifies underground will be classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
Metamorphic rock form igneous rock true or false?
Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock by melting and resolidifying. It can also become sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition and lithification. It can also become a higher grade metamorphic rock. In a few instances, it can also become a retrograde metamorphic rock. Igneous rock can form from any rock type, if the rock type is melted then cools to a solid.
Can any type of rock become another type of rock?
No. A similar rock could be formed, but some characteristics would be altered.
